Draft season is here

With the 2014 season in the books, it's now time for NFL teams to get a closer look at the prospects up for consideration in the 2015 NFL Draft. See who our experts project to be first-round selections in their mock drafts.

I would love to go with a shocker here like Clemson NT Grady Jarrett -- because that is how Belichick rolls -- but I will stick with Perriman, who has a rare combination of size, long speed and short-area quickness.

Dick LeBeau would welcome the presence of a young, athletic defender with exceptional hand skills and quickness. Williams can play multiple positions along the front line, giving the Titans a dominant defender to build around.

The ex-Gator is a violent edge defender with a knack for creating chaos at the point of attack. He possesses the competitive spirit, nasty temperament and high football IQ that Gus Bradley desires in his defenders.

New OC Chan Gailey's arrival paves the way for the team to develop Mariota as the franchise QB of the future. Gailey has experimented with the spread offense and zone-read concepts in the NFL, leading to an easier transition for Mariota.

The Rams would jump at the opportunity to land a true WR1 at this point of the draft. Cooper is the most pro-ready receiver in the draft, and his playmaking ability would help Sam Bradford get back on track in 2015.

The 49ers need to get back to the physical brand of football that carried them to three consecutive NFC Championship Games. Collins is a rugged run blocker capable of playing offensive tackle or guard in a power-based run scheme.

Bill O'Brien wants to incorporate more power running schemes into the playbook, but needs a big body on the edge to do so. Flowers mauls defenders in the running game, yet displays enough athleticism to handle speed rushers off the edge.

It's imperative for the Chargers to retool their interior line to ensure Philip Rivers stays upright in the pocket. Scherff is a stout blocker at the point of attack with the physicality and toughness to handle the massive DTs within the AFC West.

The Browns could opt for a WR at this pick, but the team wants to play smashmouth football under Mike Pettine and needs to fortify the offensive line on the right side. Peat is a plug-and-play tackle capable of stepping into the lineup on Day 1.

It's time to groom a successor for Andrew Whitworth at left tackle. Clemmings has all of the physical tools to play the marquee spot on the line, but might need a redshirt year before he is ready to assume a starting job.

The Panthers need to secure the edges of the offensive line to help Cam Newton improve his performance from the pocket. Humphries is a developmental prospect with the length and athleticism to succeed at offensive tackle.

The Ravens have struck gold in the first round over the years by taking calculated gambles on blue-chip talents. Green-Beckham has some character concerns that need to be addressed, but he has the physical tools to be an elite receiver early in his career.

Wade Phillips could encourage John Elway to look for an active nose tackle with exceptional first-step quickness to serve as the centerpiece of his 3-4 scheme. Jordan Phillips has impressive physical tools and is capable of playing as a three-down interior defender as a pro.

Despite Clay Matthews' success as an ILB, the Packers would like their top defender to return to his natural position as an edge rusher. McKinney is a rugged tackling machine with terrific instincts and awareness.

Wide receiver is a position of need for Kansas City, and it will have choices. Dorial Green-Beckham will also be under consideration, but his struggles off the field at Missouri might dissuade the Chiefs' brass.

The Jets could easily go quarterback here, but in this scenario I have them upgrading the cornerback position. New head coach Todd Bowles loves to blitz and he can't with the current lack of talent at the corner spot.

Humphries is arguably the top talent at the tackle position in this draft class. He could hold down the left tackle position, and allow the Lions to kick Riley Reiff over to right tackle or inside to guard.
